FLO & RUBY

Flo and Ruby two Devon Rex girls came from South Wales into foster care to me in April 2010. They were believed to be mother and daughter. Their owner had died and following this they were re-homed to a young couple who split up after a year and the girl left them with her mother. The mother kept them in a shed for a while not wanting them, before handing Flo and Ruby into a rescue centre in a very thin and poor state. They were there for about six months before the Rex Cat Club Welfare was asked for help in re-homing them as the rescue centre was inundated with moggies. They kindly bought them to Surrey. Before Flo and Ruby arrived my friend Anne Delnevo, Welfare Officer warned me not to get “too attached” to them (I had adopted my previous foster cats). Both girls are torties – Flo being dark chocolate with silver and cream and Ruby red and black. I collected them from Anne, both cats were very friendly and when we arrived home walked around the room exploring not at all concerned. One had been vomiting and I quickly established this was Ruby. As this continued there followed a few trips to our vet before eventually she was diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease. We suspected this had been going on for some time but had very little history and no dates of birth or ages for them. We had vaccination certificates which stated they were both nine years old in 2008 - unlikely if they were mother and daughter. My vet contacted the veterinary practice who issued the certificates but they were unable to provide dates of birth or much information. Ruby and Flo quickly settled in with me in the spare bedroom and seemed happy and content. A month went by there had been no enquiries for them. I put up the wire door on their room so they could see out and my other six cats. Ruby was not keen on this and it became obvious that she did not like other cats, only Flo. One of my cats, Silas hated them and would try to attack them if the opportunity arose. One day he hit Flo so aggressively in the eye it caused a corneal ulcer to develop, I was so upset that this had happened and it took weeks of veterinary attention and eye drops to heal. After this I made sure that Silas had no direct contact with the girls. Weeks turned into months and there had been very few enquiries for my girls. Flo and Ruby wound their little paws tighter and tighter round my heart and I started to worry. Would anyone else understand their funny little ways? Flo adored food – I have yet to find something she does not like, she is really funny the way she sucks it up making noises. Ruby had a special diet to help her digestion and needed frequent veterinary attention – would any new owner accept this? Flo had this funny, waddling, walk and could not jump or climb as her legs are stiff. Most people want to adopt younger cats; Flo and Ruby were estimated to be about twelve and ten with Flo being the older. It had become impossible “not to get too attached”. Flo and Ruby were now part of the family and I could not imagine life without them. Against all odds I adopted them and hope they are happy living with me. It is not ideal with Silas behaving as he does but we manage. Flo and Ruby live in their room but come out frequently when Silas is in another part of the house. Both girls have enjoyed the summer sitting in the garden on warmer days, eating grass and enjoying the sunshine.

Sadly the Rex Cat Club Welfare usually have older cats either in care or on the waiting list for adoption and I would say to anyone thinking of adopting a cat, do consider an older one. Flo and Ruby are adorable, so affectionate, and incredibly beautiful with their soft, curly, mottled fur. I could not wish for more loving cats and however long or short the time we have left together is I will never regret adopting them. Jill Bamford

One happy year with Bruce!

It's difficult to believe that Bruce has been with us for a year now! On another hand it feels like he has always been with us! He is the true king of our household and the neighbourhood. He is the most loving and lovable cat I ever knew, sweet, devoted yet independent and full of character!

He brought so much joy to our lives and helped us through the difficult time after loosing our dog...

He is incredibly territorial, you should see him sitting on that garden wall, just watching out so no other cat enters his household territory.. And no cat would dare! Well, generally, that was the case until a few months ago when our neighbours got a kitten...That changed things slightly..This silly, sweet little kitten doesn’t quite get the fact that Bruce doesn’t really like him and doesn’t like to be followed and watched all the time! The kitten adores Bruce, and it's the funniest thing to watch the two of them! Being a Kitten he is quite lucky, Bruce doesn’t see him as a threat (just yet!!!)

Lots of love from Bruce and his Family,Patrycja

Our Special Old Lady Georgie

Kye and I waited excitedly on January the 10th 2011 for the arrival of our first foster cat, Georgie. Unaware at this point she would be staying and how quickly she would steal our hearts.Believed to be 16 years of age she arrived totally and understandably traumatized by her ordeal. In Kye's room we had prepared a warm heated bed to help her to feel safe and comfortable. Kye wished to care for her and has taken on most of the care duties. It took just two days for us to be smitten with this little old lady. We asked Anne if we could adopt her, we felt it would be very unfair to move her yet again. Taking around ten weeks for Georgie to settle in learn to trust us. In the mean time I‟d taken it upon myself to phone the vet's on the paper work that came with Georgie to find out her birth date, explaining to us her present health, including she has been diagnosed with pancreatitis, we have "cat" birthdays in our house and of course Georgie would be no exception! There was a bit of a surprise, birth date 23.9.93! That made her nearly 18!By the time the 25th September came Georgie had a little fan club, it seemed a good idea to have a party to celebrate the fact this beautiful old lady was 18 years old, Jill made a wonderful chocolate cake, I put together a fruit basket to raffle, Anne and Jill bought some bric-a-brac to sell, we raised on Georgie‟s special day £39 for Rex Cat Club welfare.I‟m unsure that Georgie was aware what was going on or why she was getting so much attention. She disliked the ordeal of being bought downstairs to make a guest appearance so was quickly returned to her comfort zone, Kye‟s bedroom! Blessed with cards and several presents it was a very special day, and thank you to everybody who came.Today a little frail, but very alert, a bit of a chatter box she has settled in well, enjoys a fuss, lots of attention. She‟s part of the family. Georgie gives us so much pleasure, we know we won‟t have her for long, we can‟t, she's 18. So we enjoy every day with her, she's very happy and we love her very much.Nicola and Kye Fereday.

25/9/93 - 12/5/2013 Keep safe, sleep tight dear Georgie.

Georgie was a Rex Cat Welfare rescue case that we took on in her old age.She passed away peacefully at home on the 12th May. She was 19 and a half and we feel blessed to have spent the last couple of years of her life caring for her. Georgie was a very special old lady.Nicola and Kye.
